Like carbs and lipids, proteins are one of the most fundamental biomolecules to study. Interestingly, though still important, protein metabolism is less tested but for a student who is looking to score high, protein metabolism is an absolute must! In this webinar, we will tackle the different ways that proteins are metabolized but also synthesized. There will be high level connections to biochemistry and organic chemistry.

On the MCAT

  • Compared to carb or fat metabolism, protein metabolism is much lower yield

  • There are organic chemistry connections to be made

  • Be sure to als understand metabolism at the digestive level (see our GI webinars)

Testimonial

I think these webinars are really helpful! I like how they’re styled like a TED talk, so they don’t interfere with the day, but they’re really helpful review 🙂

I found everything helpful about these webinars: the explanations, the illustrations, just everything!

Amazing material conveyed concisely and in great detail!

The wealth of information and sample questions are great.

“These 30 minute FREE, live videos conducted each Friday helped me get through the pandemic. Weike is an exceptional tutor, and being able to ask questions after she’s done was magnificent. These webinars have even helped me in class subjects such as Biochemistry.  I’m looking forward to starting one-on-one tutoring with Cambridge Coaching, and I’m already feeling confident about taking the MCAT when the time comes.”
